Epdm Rubber Roofing in Wetherby, Leeds

Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) has a life expectancy of over five decades. Compare that to traditional felt, which often starts bubbling and cracking after just ten or fifteen years in the Yorkshire sun and frost. Because EPDM is UV resistant and stays flexible, it doesn't get brittle over time. It won't rot, it won't grow moss, and it doesn't require constant patching up. We typically use the ClassicBond system, which is industry-renowned for its durability. Think of it as a long-term investment; you're not just fixing a leak for today, you're making sure you never have to worry about that roof again for the rest of your time in the house.

Why do most flat roofs fail? The answer is usually the seams. Water finds the tiniest gap in a join and works its way in. The beauty of the EPDM systems we install across Leeds and Wetherby is that they are often fitted in one single, continuous sheet. We custom-cut the membrane to the exact dimensions of your roof, meaning there are no joints for water to penetrate. We pay extra attention to the 'upstands' and 'abutments'—the tricky bits where the roof meets the wall or a chimney—using professional kerb edges and gutter trims to ensure a watertight finish. It looks sleek, modern, and most importantly, it stays bone dry inside.

If the idea of a roofer using a blowtorch on your home makes you nervous, you'll be glad to know we use a completely 'cold-applied' system. There are no naked flames or dangerous hot works involved. We start by preparing a solid base, usually using high-quality OSB3 decking boards. Then, we use a high-strength adhesive to bond the rubber membrane directly to the deck. It’s a clean, efficient process that causes minimal disruption to your daily life. Because we're fully insured with £5 million in public liability cover, you can put the kettle on and relax while we work, knowing your property is in safe, professional hands.
